VICTORIAN Bohemian cranberry glass
pedestal with enameled portrait. This piece is 7" tall, 4-1/3" wide at the
top and 5" wide at the bottom. The top is like a shallow dish, and the bottom is
open, like a bell would be. I do not know what it was used for.
The portrait is beautifully hand painted on opaque white glass applied to the
cranberry, and it is in excellent condition. There is gold hand-painted leafy
design over the entire piece, but it is very worn on the main body, and only
slightly worn under the top. There are no chips or cracks. #A8259

PLEASE NOTE:Regretfully, it
is no longer possible to respond to individual questions regarding
jewelry history, identification or value, or to offer written or verbal
appraisals or opinions. The demand for this kind of information is
absolutely too overwhelming for one dealer to fill.
I love jewelry, but appraising and selling are two
entirely different businesses, and I choose selling and research as my
business.
Instead, articles are added on a regular basis to JEWEL CHAT on line Magazine, a
wonderful reference for information on many makers and styles of
vintage jewelry.
